Gajin Fujita
I don’t need to dress this up. The concept and implementation are so good it sells itself. Gajin Fujita creates works that are a combination of modern street styles and traditional Japanese painting. It’s easy to picture even if I didn’t throw up an image for you. Just think of all the Samurai and Geishas doing what they’ve always done, but painted into a world of graffiti and other street art. Fujita manages to tie the two together so seamlessly that you can almost imagine some kids with spray cans bombing around Feudal Japan. Turf wars would be a lot worse if everyone had swords; and you’d probably have to commit seppuku if found guilty of biting someone else’s style. It’s a hard knock life.
